Brewers speedy new CF Gomez working on swing
Gomez knows he's going to get every opportunity to succeed in Milwaukee

PHOENIX (AP) -- Carlos Gomez is into fast things. The Brewers' center fielder quickly jumps from subject to subject, and has a bunch of hobbies that include watching world class sprinters.
Gomez knows he's going to get every opportunity to succeed in Milwaukee after general manager Doug Melvin dealt popular former All-Star shortstop J.J. Hardy to Minnesota.
Gomez's batting averages with the Twins dwindled from .258 and 33 stolen bases in 2008 to .229 and 14 steals last year as his playing time decreased, but he says he's committed to changing his swing to complement his defensive abilities.
The Brewers wouldn't mind him slowing down just a little at the plate. Hitting coach Dale Sveum (SWAYM') is helping Gomez and says he hopes Gomez will make the necessary adjustments.
